I wish I had written down precisely what my fellow queer theater-goer friend said as we left. “I thought that only happened inside my head,” he said. That’s almost exact, but then he added something like, “It was a gay dream vision.” He is not wrong.

This was the fourth public performance, and I could already tell it’s going to be a hit. The music is everything. If you’re a Moulin Rouge fan, you’ll be astounded by how well they kept to what we know and love but updated everything to make it a whole new experience.

The performances — KAREN OLIVO AND AARON TVEIT FOR QUEEN AND KING OF MY HEART — are fantastic. Sahr Ngaujah as Toulouse-Lautrec and Danny Burstein as Harold Zidler are particular delights as well.

BTW, don’t take my word for it. This was the crowd around the corner, beyond some construction, waiting outside the stage door for the first Friday night performance of Moulin Rouge the Musical.

Yes, I returned to the Moulin Rouge tonight. It’s such a perfect escape. It also honors Luhrmann’s movie by expanding on all of the movie’s excesses in the ways that can be done so well on stage: The music, the dancing, the set, the costumes, the energy. I really love it.pic.twitter.com/juDXVLObDo

Take a vacation, they said.
It’ll be good for you, they said.
It’s not like the country will be gone by time you return, they said.

Today’s Adventure: Can America’s transportation grid handle getting Chris home from one East Coast city to another? (This shouldn’t be difficult, but I’ve been booked on 4 flights in the past 3 hours to do so.)
